its a gen1 a 2003. so far, it is so different from my 73 Z1. damn fast too
Hey Mike......sounds like this guy got a cherry. A 03' with 1300 miles........it's brand new. That's a good find and I bet the price was right.
The generation 1 FZ1 is like the ZR-7S on steroids. Same riding position and view but the Yammy's suspension is fully adjustable.![]()
He got great price.. We'd probbly buy a 3rd FZ1 id we stumbled on the deal he did.![]()
had it for a little while, have put on 800 miles, and i am lovin it

If Loud Pipes Save Lives, Imagine what learning to ride that thing could do!
I'm still around... though I've hardly posted in almost a year.

Honestly no, I only put about 300 miles on the FZ1 last yesr. Given the weather conditions I require for both are almost exactly the same the road bike wins most of the time.
I'm thinking of selling the FZ1 this spring, I don't think it has more than 3500 miles on it yet. But I may keep it too, it's a hard decision for me really. I've got SO much into it, and I still REALLY love it... Just not enough time to do both.
That crash in 05 seemed to have taken my urge to ride for the most part.
What to do...

I got to ride my uncle's '06 FZ1 earlier this summer for a day, and absolutely fell in love, beautiful bike. Alas, I couldn't afford it, but picked up an '04 Z1000 a month later for 3K. Really similar rides, and to be honest I don't know if I could pick a favorite, but that FZ was silky smooth with an absolutely sick top-end. I'm really looking at the FZ-6 as a possible next bike, I just don't need all those ponies!!! It's either that or a Versys, but who knows, I'm luvin' my Zed so maybe I'll just make due...........................
